Champions League Exit Dries Mertens, and Napoli on the kampioenenbal. The club from the port city went tonight on Anfield with 1-0 for the axe. Liverpool, last year’s losing finalist, joins them at the last minute in the last sixteen. The Neapolitans have peace with wintering in the Europa League.

Minute 13 at Anfield. Dries Mertens is wailing against the turf. A few seconds before, picked up Virgil van Dijk with a nasty tackle. Studs forward. The Dutchman played the first ball, but was torpedoed afterwards, our compatriot. And yellow came the defender, there is still good from – so you don’t go to a ball. Mertens could after minutes care the fight will eventually continue. Whew.
